Abstract
Pericardial hemangioma is very rare and their coincidence with other visceral hemamgiomas is exceptional. We are reporting a 72-year-old man with an incidentally discovered pericardial hemangioma during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and mitral valve replacement surgery and a prior history of multiple hepatic cavernous hemangiomas. This case has been reported due to its extreme rarity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of this kind reported till date.
